I don't recall ever specifying. What would it do to your worldview if I turned out to be the dudeliest of dudes? *eg*

By the way, I think you're confusing male humans with male ruff birds. You should fix that. Maybe check out the rest of that comic series; it's educational, and might make your head explode. Send me pics if it does. <3

(( The animal kingdom is naturally freaky, in case anyone didn't know. Humon is especially known for the comic series Scandinavia and the World, but all her stuff is really cool. ^^

(( I shall look forward to seeing where this goes! Even if I regret saying that later! ^~

Dusk arrived at Beacon Academy, where Soluna started her adventure. Given the information from the fanfic that she replaced Blake Belladonna and started a relationship with Ruby Rose, Soluna Destiny was already disrupting both of the Team RWBY ships that Dusk felt with all of her heart should be canon. That made two charges, and Dusk had not even started watching yet. To be honest, Dusk could write down a list of every single charge while she was still reading the fanfic, and kill Soluna as soon as she saw her, but Upstairs would never approve of that, despite how brilliant of an idea it was. Quite brilliant, in fact. Dusk thus decided to do so as she was. Taking her pen in one hand, she wrote down every single charge she had encountered in the fanfiction.

[Author's Note: Bumblebee and White Rose are the best thing ever and anyone who says otherwise is a homophobe and needs to get off the Board.

With a salute,

...Miss Sourmilk has everything wrong. This is a good fic, yes: it continues to establish Faolan's inherent superiority that will come to form the core of their relationship. But she still seems to think that some sort of justification for this sort of relationship is required.

Silly. In their natural habitats, every male gravitates towards an alpha role. Those that cannot become natural omegas, seeking the protection of their peers by becoming adopting a "female-substitute" role for the other men, with none of the dignity that implies. If a would-be omega would not accept their role, they will be forced into it by the alphas, until they inevitably accept their rightful place.

Nasty, brutish creatures, aren't they?

((...Espouse every bad idea I can think of off the top my head, and toss in casual sexism to taste! Joy of joys.

I'm pretty sure it's the latter, FYI Nesh. But who knows? Maybe I'll be proven wrong.

Kudos for not writing the worst ABO fic, Ix. That's tough to do.

~Thoth))

Again, let's be clear: This is not a PPC fanfic. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Agents Ix Saibhir and Charlotte Webb. This is a good thing, because if you were actually trying to portray those characters, haha, I can't even type it with a straight face. Just change the names again and what you've got here is a perfectly serviceable original fic.

And as such? Accepting that this is a different world with a different set of rules and social mores? You're doing some smart things, such as setting up some sort of prejudice against Omegas that works to justify "Faolan's" protectiveness of Charlus. It also helps that Faolan is royalty, which makes the whole arrogant and domineering Alpha thing easier to swallow.

One thing I will knock you for, though: The ability to ride a horse, presumably with a saddle and bridle, does not translate to the ability to ride a giant wolf unaided. A wolf's gait is not the same as a horse's. Go look up some videos of horses running and some videos of wolves running and see if you can spot the difference.

(( For real though, I do think this works pretty well so far. Can't hate it on the basis of wrecking the characters if it's not even making a token effort to get them right, and can't hate it for wrecking humans if one of 'em ain't and the other is accustomed to different rules than we are. Either making something that works was the intent, in which case kudos, or you're setting us up for a gutpunch of awfulness later, in which case... well, it's the Badfic Game, so also kudos. {; P

Because people don't like the English dub:

One thing: I was actually 13 when I found the PPC (and still am). The maths doesn't say it's impossible.

And it's rather long... but I'm not complaining - loads of stats!

Charlus pressed against Faolan's side when his father began shouting. "Absolutely not!" he said. "We let you werewolfs have your tributes but you are not taking my son!"

"Keep your tributes," Faolan said dismissively. "Your son is the greatest gift you could give me. He is an Omega, and he shall bear my children, who will inherit the throne after I am dead."

Charlus' father's eyes bugged out. "An Omega?!"

"A very rare and prized type of male. Now that he and I are bonded, we—"

"Get out!" his father yelled, pointing. "I won't have that sort of disgusting filth in my house! Out!"

Charlus whimpered as Faolan drew him closer. "You will rue the day you cast my mate out of your home," he declared, his eyes flashing. "Come, Charlus—you have anew home with me."

Charlus looked up at him with large, beautiful blue eyes. He looked so frightened and uncertain, and Faolan had a violent urge to protect him at all costs.

"I will take you back to my castle," Faolan declared, leading Charlus from the house. "Can you ride?"

"I am a Lord's son," Charlus said, drawing himself up. He was still quite short despite being fully grown. If it weren't for his scent—now reeking of mating heat—he'd wonder if this boy was supposed to be his mate after all. He was so small, so delicate, and Faolan's duty as an Alpha was to protect his mate at all costs.

"Then ride on me," Faolan said, and shifted into wolf form. He was a magnificent, enormous jet black beast, with fur the same glossy raven shade as Charlus' hair. The eyes still looked like his human form, though, jade green with a golden ring around the pupil. Charlus gaped at him before moving forward, hesitantly running his fingers through the shaggy fur. Faolan grinned a wolfish grin and crouched so Charlus could mount him.

And that would be the only time Charlus would ever be allowed to 'mount' him, he thought as Charlus climbed onto his back. Faolan waited until he was situated, and then took off, running much faster than any horse ever could.

Charlus yelled with delight at the wind catching his hair, whipping it around his face. They raced through the forest, Alpha and Omega, wolf and rider speeding toward the castle on the mountain in the distance.

I knew it! Knew it'd be a first try!

You got some good stuff in there, Snowy, and I'm bloody well excited to see more of it. Good on ya!

On the other hand--and I know I may seem to be agreeing with DimBulbDeadGlow for a minute here, but bear with me--being technically equal in rank doesn't necessarily mean being equal in power/authority. The power dynamics of a relationship (any sort) between an Astartes and a human would seem to be weighted toward the Astartes in most cases, wouldn't they?

I mean, Thoth is way older than Derik, in all ways more powerful, and until recently used to thinking of himself as superior to all mortals.

BUT, Derik was a Weyrleader, or at least he remembers being one. He's a take-charge kinda guy, and he has the advantage of way more relevant experience in the PPC, plus his offbeat Harpery/Phantomy charm. :)

Seeing how the scales find balance between them is part of the fun of writing them. ^_^

And you're welcome for the mental image. When you think of it, think also of me. <3

--Lemony

(( Your comment is especially funny because the issue of Space Marine superiority and whether or not Thoth gets to assert it over Derik as his teacher is a thing we're dealing with in the canon storyline. Spoiler: the answer is a firm hell no. {X D ))

Don't make me report you--for all I know, that form will put you on Lichtenstein's Most Wanted or something. Inadvertently putting out a hit on someone would be bad for my PR.

♪It's okay to not like things.♪ And I'd tend to agree that your common-or-garden-variety shipper does tend to lack... let's go with prudence and temperance, those are virtues and also polite words.

I dig all that stuff you said, though. I'd say I've got three of five going for me in my fic. You should drop by sometime. Let me know if it rattles you in your fortress-monastery at all. ^_~

Are you disturbed somehow?

I simply have no desire to see a man become another's "dominant mate," among other things.

I assure you there is no waste! Unless I am a trash can, omnom.

((And I just meant the general concept, there. |D I am not terribly good at this game; mostly it's the bare-bones idea (in this case 'what if the peridexis had to be incorporated into the PPC?') with more than a little self-deprecation going on.

And the description of the ocean-blue eyes was the most, well, picturesque description of any normal body part in the whole piece! XD))

I meant that astartes are hierarchical. A marine is not truly at home (I know about metaphors) without a rigid command structure, even if he is at the top of it. Thoth could not "assume a position of dominance" over Derick because they are the same rank. Even if a marine doesn't need "permission to wipe his arse" (I'll never be able to get rid of that image), he couldn't just start giving commands to his equals.

That you lack the manliness and power to be secure in your masculinity. Real men are secure enough in their maleness to not care about their desire to see men together in fiction, to watch one become the other's dominant mate.

((...Sorry about that. SMDS has more or less every bad idea about masculinity it's possible to have.))

We should definitely consider founding a PPC empire and taking over the world.

I do not "ship," and I tend assume people involved in "shipping" lack various virtues I aspire to. I should probably stay in my depth, namely, heroism, friendship, the tragedy of the righteous fighting the righteous, absurd humor, and lots of words.

Ave Imperator!

Glory to the sons of Dorn!

And hS revenge'd me during the Shipfest for portraying him in a similar way. Perhaps a little more agressive, but similar.
